ARIES

March 21-April 19

When things are overwhelming and change is in the air, it can be tempting to try and react before you know what you’re actually thinking; but that’s a total mistake. Check in with yourself before you do anything crazy, Aries. As tempting as it may be to go on a fixing spree, you need to do some serious introspecting first; understand that there’s a meaningful difference between the pain of breaking open versus breaking in pieces. Be open to finding the value in any suffering you’re going through this week.

The role that fear plays in your decision making should be minimal. When your concerns inform you of very real risk is when they’re most useful. It’s when you fall prey to seconding guessing and come exclusively from a scarcity-riddled mindset that you get into trouble. Separate your paranoia from your premonitions this week, Taurus. Sift through the facts and your feels to come up with a plan for dealing with the truth, especially if you’d rather be hiding under the bed instead.

The collection of data is super helpful when you’re trying to figure things out, but there comes a time in every Gemini’s life when you’ve gotta synthesize, my friend. Take a break from looking at the trees and go full forest on your life. If you’re not in alignment with your big picture wants and goals, you’re likely to feel anxious AF this week. Remember who you are (really!) and what you’re in it for. It may be a pain in the buns to shift gears, but you’ve got to honor your goals to create a life you’re truly happy in.

You’ve got enough on your plate, and you shouldn’t add one more thing. This week your feelings are all tied up in knots, and the worst thing you can do is distract yourself with more stuff. Slow down and catch up with yourself, Moonchild; empty out your inbox, stock your fridge, and get a massage or go to that yoga class you’ve been meaning to attend. Dot your i’s and cross your t’s so that you’re clear on the things you can control and have the space to deal with the stuff that you can’t.

Relationships are a delicate balance of so many things, and they can require tons of work. It gets tricky when you start picking at scabs that haven’t yet healed either between you and others or in your heart. Sometimes you just need to let things be, Leo, so you can figure out if you need to change how you take care of your feels or if you need to change your relationship altogether. This week calls for introspection and patience, my friend.

Look back, Virgo, because this week you’re on call to learn from your past. The details of what’s going down in your life may be compelling, but they’re not exactly the point. What you should be looking for is the deep inner patterns that you’ve played out in past situations; that goes for how you processed your feels as much as what actions you took. History is bound to repeat itself if you’re not careful. Be courageous enough to learn from your own experiences and to take the kind of risks that allow you to make new mistakes.

Meeting others in the middle while showing up with your whole self is a very good thing, but pretending to be cool with how things are even when you’re not, isn’t. Show yourself as much patience and compassion as you can as you try and figure out how to meet the needs of others in concert with your own. Learn to feel good about yourself without the need for anyone else’s approval; there’s space for disagreements in your connections. Strive for authenticity over accommodation this week.

It takes time, and maybe more importantly, it takes space to get where you want to be within yourself, Scorpio. You’ve got too many voices competing for space in your head, and you need to empty them all out on the table to see what you really think, feel, and need. Take a break from others this week, and spend some quality time unpacking your internal messiness so that you can put yourself back together again in a way that empowers you towards your next steps.

Making peace with things that you don’t want to be true isn’t an investment into them, Sagittarius. In order to really change your self, the world, or conditions in your life, you must first accept where you’re starting from. Get present about where things are at so that you can achieve some peace, my friend. From that place you’ll organically begin to see more options for how to navigate the waters of your life in ways that really work. You’ve got this!

Your task this week is to find a way to cope with uncertainty. Instead of assuming the worst or trying to shine a floodlight on what’s not ready, strive to navigate with grace and flexibility the feelings that you don’t know what to do with. Things are shifting deeply, and you’re not supposed to be able to see what comes next because you’ll be so different when the time comes that you’re not likely to come to the same conclusions. Let things develop, Cappy.

You don’t have enough 411 to make sense of what’s happening yet, but you don’t have long yet to wait. This week your vision and your circumstances aren’t quite caught up with each other, but don’t despair! Just because they’re not where you want them to be doesn’t mean that they won’t get there. Let go of your attachments to your expectations, and continue to cultivate the changes you desire.

This is an excellent week to innovate something new, Pisces. There’s energy in place to help you find innovative solutions to old problems and to see potential where you were recently feeling blocked. Be open to new people coming into your life and finding different ways of relating to them. In order for your life to transform, the way you participate has to meaningfully shift first. Be the change you wish to see in your life, whether you do it in leaps or baby steps this week.
